I've amassed quite a wee collection of nice looking (in the eye of the beholder etc) and/or souvenir riding tops, most of which are too lightweight or just too nice looking (e.g. easily stained or too irreplaceable to risk ripping) for 90% of my riding in rural Perthshire.
They get trotted out for turbo trainer use which is daft as I'll put on all my finest Italian cycling gear just to go out and sweat and do battle with the spiders in my dingy garage for an hour.
Figured it would be a useful motivational tool to have them hanging on the wall in the office, but I'd need something flat, the correct shape (so not a normal clothes hanger as I've found out) but probably robust enough that during summer I actually can use it as a clothes hanger as I wear the tops occasionally, which I think rules out just a carboard template.
I'm thinking a thin piece of acrylic plastic cut to shape, but where would I find such a thing. Do bike shops have a source for something similar?

If they are anything like mine, you will also need a bottlle of febreeze...
Ha, well miraculously at an average rate of one turbo session per month per top they haven't developed too much 'personality' yet...
Is this the kind of thing you had in mind?
Nah, my jersey collection is a little bit more exciting than 7 identical yellow ones 🙄 😉
@martinhutch you beat me to it! 🤣
You can take his titles away but you can't take his jerseys away! #ilovelance
Ikea for cheap frames 🙂
Coat hangers on a picture rail.
Cutting a shirt blank seems reasonable. You can make something from any stiff plastic. Old estate agent signs will work. You can cut them with a Stanley knife. Probably still worth using a proper hanger for the hook for strength. Or get some tougher plastic like fomex and jigsaw it.
